The fiddlers of James Bay

Documentary on two Cree fiddlers, Bob McLeod and Ray Spencer, who travel to the Orkneys to the source of the music they learnt from their fathers and grandfathers. The Cree, however, play by ear, while the Scots play by sheet music, which makes for some impressive exchanges of technique.

  • "Des Écossais originaires des Îles Orkney sont venus commercer dans le Nord-Ouest québécois au 17e siècle. Ils apportaient avec eux des violons et ainsi introduisirent une nouvelle forme de musique chez les Indiens Cri de la Baie James. Dans ce documentaire, deux "violoneux" cris font le voyage de retour aux Îles Orkney, afin de visiter le berceau de la musique apprise de leurs parents et grand-parents."

  • "Scots from the Orkney Islands came to trade in Northern Québec during the 17th century. They brought fiddles with them and introduced a new form of music to the Cree of James Bay. The music survived long after the Scots returned home. In this film two Cree fiddlers travel to the Orkney Islands, the birthplace of the music they learned from their fathers and grandfathers. The film captures the warmth and good will of this reunion."
